There was a time when all hope was lost

The carcass of dreams lay at our feet

And words fell on silenced ears

All bridges crossed

Consumed by the fires of all we'd achieved

A breath of cold by day

Remembers warmth that was within

Like a ghost finally unbound from its prison

Solemnly, I swear to vanquish darkness in your name

I swear your light will permeate my being

There was a time when all hope was lost

The carcass of dreams lay at our feet

And words fell on silenced ears

All bridges crossed

Consumed by the fires of all we'd achieved

The unforgotten name

The cherished flame that you began

I have born and by night I was forgiven

Seasons passed but you remained

From anguish I became incandescent

You have raised me from the dead

There was a time when all hope was lost

The carcass of dreams lay at our feet

And words fell on silenced ears

All bridges crossed

Consumed by the fires of all we'd achieved

This I'll always hold dear
